Looking for a Christian boarding school near Winston, Georgia?

Have you been struggling with a rebellious or unruly teen in your family? Has your troubled teen been expelled from school, or gotten into trouble with the law? Do you fear for their safety? As a result, you may be looking into residential care options; such as boots camps, a therapeutic boarding school or a wilderness program for troubled teens.

We invite you to check out Shepherd’s Hill Academy, which is relatively close by. For 20 years, Shepherd’s Hill Academy has been guiding troubled boys and girls, helping them get back on track. We’ve helped hundreds of teens from around the country from families just like yours.

Shepherd’s Hill Academy believes that a change of heart due to a relationship with Jesus is the only real and lasting change. We provide a first-rate education, one-on-one mentoring and counseling, equine therapy, and teamwork exercises to help teens grow character and learn to make responsible choices.

A Hybrid Between a Wilderness Program and a Boarding School, with a Christian Emphasis

Shepherd’s Hill Academy, located in northeast Georgia about 2 hours from Atlanta, is a blend of a therapeutic wilderness program and a Christian boarding school with several forms of therapy, including counseling and equine therapy. Teens come to Shepherd’s Hill Academy from the east coast, south, midwest, western states and west coast, including from towns like Winston.

The Wilderness Program is the First Phase

The early part of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, carefully planned to eliminate distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Living without technology and other conveniences gives teens an opportunity to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of cooperating to meet basic daily needs demands coping and teamwork strategies, giving teens good reason to consider their responsibility to others.

The Residential Program is Next

Once the teens in our care consistently make responsible choices and take ownership of their development, they transfer to the residential program and live in a home on campus. This next step prepares them to transition into society as privileges and individual liberties are restored.
